are owned by the governments the
same of Egypt. Hence we find the
American farmer not only competing
with the pauper and cheap labor OF the
world, but also with cheap transporta-
ton government railroads. which en-
ables the cheap labor of India, Egypt,
Russia and Australia to send grain and
cotton to the European markets at
rates that ruin American farmers to
compete with them. If American farm

The American Pathological Society
appointed committee to investigate
the adaptability of the universal lang
uage Volapuk. The committee met
at Philadelphia last week and prepared
report of which the following is the
subsistence
''That in the vastly increased rapid
ity Of interchange Of thought in modern
times, some general medium of inter-
communication would be welcome is
unquestioned. Wherever there are
close commercial relations between
nations speaking different tongues such
media are sure to arise for the necessity
of daily life. Convinced, therefore, that
the time is ripe for the promulgahon
for general form of speech for civilized
members of the race, we shall now in.
quire what should be the requirements
of such tongue to merit the recon-
mendation of this society. We begin
| by the observation that the ArYan stock
is now and has been for Z, 1000 years the
standard bearer Of civilization of the
world. hence a universal language
should be based upon the general lin
Iguistic principles of that stock. In the
Aryan stock the six principal living
tongnes in the order Of their import
ance and extent, may be ranged, Eng
lish, French, German, Spanish, Italian
and Russian. It should be the aim Of
the proposed general tongue to ally it,
self to those somewhat in the order
noted as thus being more readily ac-.
lquired by the greater number of active
workers III the world at the present
time. With an ardent wish for the
formation and adoption Of universal
tongue, we canned recommend Volapuk
as that which is suited to the needs Of
modern thought. On the contrary it
seemsl to US 3 distinct retrogression in
linguistic progress. Nor, in this day
| Of combined activities. does il appear
] to US likely that any one individual
3 can SO appreciate the needs Of civilized
/ nations as to frame 4 tongue to suit
them all. Such task should be CON
fded to an international committee
. from the six or seven leading Aryan
nationalities. :

Later on, the matter was placed in the hands of Detective Kel. lert, who learned that Lnnge was in Mon. treal where he had obtained employment In the firm of MacIntosh & Go, of the Vulcan iron works Kellert kept sharp eye on the defaulter, and obtaining the confidence of his employers, ascertained tsat it was proposed to dispatch Isange tc Coaticook on business. The detective i'm. mediately awoke to the fact that Ooaticook IS only ten miles from the frontier, and de. termined to endeavor get his man over the line. It was necessary to obtain the pres ence of the defaulter in the states, as the offence was not an extraditable one. This was accomplished without difficulty. Lange was informed on arriving at Ooaticook that MT. Todd was out fishing, and man who represented himself as belonging to the hotel offered to drive him out to the place. The plan had been carefully prepared, and Lange and his friend (Kellert's man) were quickly driven over the line. Here Mir.

-Willimantic Chronicle: It is a great day for the shire town of Holland when the superior court is in session. People flock from miles around to witness the pro- ceedings, and take as much interest in the affair as if 1t were a sort of amusement. Frequently amusing things happen in the court. Judge Stoddard is presiding at the present session, and is directing mat ters with the same precision that school master would employ in the conduct of 8 school. His honor reaches the court room promptly at S.55 every morning. The iufymen, witnesses and spectators respect fully allow him to enter the court room first, and then follow. Judge. Stoddard has ponderous bell rung, and at this sig nal the jurymen take their seats, while the witnesses and spectators place themselves in convenient places about the room. Then there is an interim of about two min utes, during which the gentlemen of the jury whittle. of plug tobacco. By the time this is accomplished everything is in readiness, and the business of the court is taken up. Judge Stoddard wastes nc time. About noon there is recess of an hour for dinner. Those who have moi brought lunch baskets go over to the sho. tel. Then the business is resumed, and il is frequently o'clock before Judge Stod dard consents to adjourn the court. The other sday' the scasesof Dalys the alleged Bolton murderer, was on trial. The grand jury was in court, and Judge Stoddard was defining to them what murder and manslaughter meant.
